[QUOTE="Andy, post: 253467, member: 5096"] My difficult child started with 10mg Flouxetine and worked up to 30mg. It came in tablet form. It was a godsend for him. It was also given with the understanding that he would do the work needed to get off of it if possible. Not all kids can come off it, but many can. I have also learned that you can not switch back and forth from tablet to liquid form. That is why when he was being weaned off, we could not go less than 10 mg. We did 10 every other day while coming off it. It worked wonders for us. Starting with 20 and diluting is news to me also. I would think the 10 mg would be a safer route. And it does take up to three weeks to come down from each step so I would think it could take that long to have it totally in your system when starting out. Good luck. Check the side effects - the tiredness may be one. I would have to find my journal for more info - I am not good at remembering things so need to write everything down. [/QUOTE]
